[PRICE SEVBNPENCEi NATIONAL', SOCIETY for the EDUCATION of the POOR in the PRINC2II,.ES of the ESTABLISHED CHURCH. IHE JIAYEARLY PUBLIC EXAM!. NATION of the CHILDREN; which was postponed on accon it of the much-lamented Death_ of ,her Majesty, will take place at the CENTRAL SCHOOL, in Bildivires-gardens, Gray's Inn-lane, TO-MORROW. His Grew the ARCH 'BISHOP of CANTERBURY will take the Chair at Gne o'clock precisely. • FROM THE COVENTRY HERALD: calculable mischief.lo several districts-Of the country! .The efforts wade to , preserve the public peace were counteracted by the abettors of sedition ; and speeches of an inflaming na ture were delivered, which (although perk-rips net so intenda ed), served as an encouragement to evil men to prosecute their revolutionary plans. In this manner was advantage taken of un ' avoidable distress, to•axcite to violence and insurrection against the legal authorities, who were represented as tbe greatest enemies of their Country. These were some of the, monstrous docti Mrs sent abroad, but they were by. no means the worst. Former attempts were revived to persuade the people that the religion of the ice iptures was the invention of inert ; that eternity was a fable, and hotraot responsibility • an illusion; nor was it the least miscilievous part of this sys tem to ridicule and profane the formularies of the Established Church. " The design of all this was obvious; let a man be con vinced that lie has nothing to fear in the future state,and there is nothing he will not venture upon in the present. Titus ir reigion and sedition went hand in hand; men released from their obligations to God, became fit instruments for the work of treason and bloodshed. Numbers were excited ,to arras : Workmen were threatened with death, if they followed Weir lawful ecupations; and oae unoffending man was murdered in his own house by the Captaia of the gang ! " It was with a view to the real and permanent interests of the.people themselves, and especially the deluded and unsus pecan% part, that I deemed it necessary, with a great ma jority in Parliament, to strengthen the hands of his Majesty's Awninistration, at such a =meta of peculiar_ peril : and therefore, as had been repeatedly done, upon former exigen des, I toted fur the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, that is, for :1 temporary surrender of a portion of our privi leers, in order pertnanently to preserve the whole. " It appeared that the only refuge, from a military Go - -anent on the one hand, and from . destruction on the was to arm for a limited period the Ministry of„the Country with discretionary p responsible however for its sound exercise. And what was the result ?—The Nation as aa d , the good were protected, and tbe dangers have ceased. -" krorn these and other favourable circumstances, we may co.,o,!enta hope that, with regard to thl3 Country (if I may be p.a ~,:tted to adapt to the present subject the beautiful and heart-consoling langoage used by the Sovereigns of Eu rope, 'in' their recent admirable Declaration from Aix-la- Chapelle), Nye shall be happy in tbe power of consecrati n g, - from heoceforfh, a ll our e ff orts to the protection of the arts of peace, to the increase of the internal prosperity of our 'State, and to the awakenins.of those sentiments of religielaand morality, who se E m pi re Ills been but too much enfeebled by the misfortune of the times.' " I would, however, be ever jealous of our cons tit u ti ona l rights, nor up o n s li g ht grounds countenance • theirauspen sion, carpal - or the shortest period ; tholigh it is , ra) terrad persuasion that the late restrictive measures were ne cessaty. I give full c r e di t to those who were honestly of a different opinion, probably because they lived in peaceable districts, and so Ns / ere not fully aware of the dangers•that existed': but I had, at the time, correct private information, front the disturbed districts, as well as public evidence, which entirely satisfied my mind, and' determined my con duct; and I have' very lastly visited some of the Northern Couuties, the most exposed to disturbance, and am confirmed in my opinion of the wisdom and necessity of the measures adopted, by testimony the most respectable and impartial. " Were it however conceded, merely for the sake of argu went, that no sufficient necessity did in fact exist for the late measures, still lam justified in asking, Is no credit to be ' given either for purity of motive, or honesty of intention, to men, who, to saathe least, have as fair a reputation fur, wisdom mid integrity as those who differed from them?' " In common witiathose with whom I voted on this occa sion, I have sustained with:ire of obloquy and - abuse, and have beets charged with a dereliction of duty; but opera a calm soview of my own conduct, 1 ant perfectly satisfied with the course I have youcueu. unit repeat. that aamststutem, and will evez.eberish, and labour to preserve ~tinirtfringed, those 'alter:les aod privileges which it was in tended to secure. But if, in.defianee of my clear conviction, I had acted otherwise than I did, I should have thought, that ITwasapnizing thesdoor to the horrors of anarchy, and put ting to extreme hazard every thing that is good and desirable in Society. " As to other questions, which have come under the deli beration of Parliament, I hove, in the spit - it of Indepen dence, supported Its Majesty's Government when I have ap— proved of the measures proposed, bat I have not tailed to oppose those which 1 considered to be objectionable. : " With regard to the local interests of the City of Coven tfi it has ever been a pleasure to me to promote' them'whea ' in my power : and it is certainly amongst the subjects which excite my regret, that Lam now deprived of the opportunity , of renewing my labours in Parliament, for the peculiar be nefit of a,City endeared to me as the place of my birth, and the scene of early life. " I cannot conclude without expressiag the sense of obli gation I feel to the numerous friends who honoured me with their support at the late Election, and who encountered con siderable personal danger by maintaining the cause in which we' were embarked.

GENTLEMEV,—The very 'handsome - testimony of regard with which I am honoured; through your Infuds, cannot fail to be highly.gratifyipc to my feelings; and I shall carefully reserve this proof of the kind consideration which my public conduct•has received from so respectable a part of my native City. I have to request that you will do me the favour to make my most grateful acknowledgments to the f;orpora-- tioa„ and to my other respected Friends' at. Coventry, for this elegant and generous 'expression of their attachment. " While I request you to commtinicate my sentiments of gratitude, and to be assured of the impressions I entertain of yobr personal kindness, ano of the wanner in which you have zonveyed this flatteriNog Token of Friendship, you will per haps allow me to avail myself of the opportunity thus afford ed, of adverting to my conduct in Parliament,. in which have been so fortun a t e as t o meet your approbation, with that of so numerous a portion of my late Constituents. " When I offered myself asa Candidate for the honour of representing your ancient City, I professed that soy public conduct should be guided by principles of real independence. I did not imagine that the only characteristic of independence was constant co-operation with one particular party, or un 'deviating, opoositko to his Majesty's Government. I held myself piedgi.d to act and rote in 'Parliament with freedom, and independent of all parties, agreeably to the dictates of my conscica,, nne epon the best consideration I could give' t:— Petit.!' '77; detcllllineiLtn: I certainly thus acted, and voted, daring the time I was a Representative of the City of Corentry ; and if' suivenduct has not met the wishes of all my respected Con-• stituents; I have the consolation to reflect, that the course I pursued Was the result of the deliberate judgment of my own mind, and not to serve any varty purposes, north promote any private views. Indeed, it does not appear to me, how I could irate adopted a different line of coilduct, consistently with those -- cprotessions of independ e nce on which I carriAl the suffrages of my Constituents; nor can I conceive how my union_with, and constant support of, either of the two great Parties in MlMl:tent, would have left me in possession of that Character of Independence which I maintained in the House of Commons. • TRUITELS, • The Marquis of BUCKINGHAM, • Lord Brayhrooke, William Pracd, Esq.

OBSERVATIOXS and FACTS relative to PUBLIC HOUSES in the CITY of LONDON had its ENVIRONS. SVo. .Is. 6d. " Sincerely attached to those Principlts, and to that System of Government, which were established by the Revolution in 1688, I have ever considered them as the' guide of my public conduct : and I conceited that I was returned to Pm !lament, not only to protect the rights, liberties, and property of the People, hut also to uphold the Executive Government of the Country :without which, our liberties would soon be de stroyed, 'our property rendered precarioui, and our rights b e .merely nominal. With these views, I had abundant reason to be . satisGd that - my duty would be best performed by pursuing the independent coarse, to which I have adeeited. " Having thus briefly stated the general principles which actuated My conduct as a Member of Parliament, I request also to assign the reasons which have determined my course, in relation to some particular measures which have come under my deliberation in that capacity. During the period in which I had the honour of being one of the Represyistatives of the City of Coventry, this Na tion had to contend with unexampled difficulties, and a crisis 'of danger occurred which had no parallel in the annuls of British Hislin-y. Engaged in conflict with a gigantic.tyranny, established in the 'wait of Europe by a military usurpation, under whose extending despotism the greater part of the Continent already lay enchained, this Country made unceas ing struggles to maintain her independence ; till, by her as tionshing energies, under the blessing of God, site defeated, and overthrew the Desna and his power, and gloriously ter minated a war, unexpla i ned in its length and fUry. The mise ries, consequent on that war, and the distressful condition of these States which fell under the dominion of the French Usurper, cannot easily be described. 'I had the honour to assist in administering =relief to various parts of the Conti nent, when the first subscription was opened in London, fur alleviating the distresses in Germany; mid I had a peculiar opportunity of knowing, from official documents, the horrors of French Dothination ; and was thus the better enabled to appreciate the dangers we had escaped, and the glorious, though exhausting efforts, made by the British Government to save our Nation from th e like s l aver y. " Ott the return of .Peace, it could not he expected that Plenty and Prosperity would immediately succeed to departed Hostility. The vast exertions made during the war required immense sacrifices, which could not speedily be compensated. The large demand fur all the implements requisite in so ex tended a warfare, had occakioned, in various ways, mach em ployment for the poor, and produced a great trade through out the Country total stop to this demand, and the sud den reduction of our Army and Navy, threw thousands out of employ. , The channels of commerce, which were open to this Country, exclusively, during the war,, were at once caused against us, by new relations among foreign powers. A scanty harvest occasioned a dearth of pro Visions.
